graph to put in the clubs album. As Kelly
got only 50, go for winning the championship
for Chicago last year the change is likely to
be very agreeable to him. Boston has also
offered the St Louis club $500 for Glass
cock, but cannot get him.
This deal has been under consideration for
a month Boston had offered S7,50O for
Glasscock and had been prevented from get
ting him by the interposition Of the League
supervisory committee About month ago
Director Billings, of Boston, heard that
Kelly had said he would leave the profession
rather than play with Chicago another year,
and at once proposed to his colleagues that
an offer be made for Kelly's release. An
offer of $1,000 was made, which President
Spalding, Of the Chicago base ball club, re-
fused, saying that it would take $4,000 to
get him. ~. IA rs F,. ..
Boston then offered $1,000, and Mr.. Spald-
ing wrote that if Boston would make bona
fide bid of 10000, and give him to the mid
die Of March to talk the matter over with
the other stockholders, they could have Kelly
beyond doubt. A week ago the Boston
men wrote Spalding again, saying that
$10,0 900 would be paid for Kellys immediate
release, but that the offer would not be left
open. Friday afternoon a reply came accept
ing the offer and on Sunday morning Direc-
tor Billings started from Boston to secure
Kelly's signature Kelly was found in the
Nelson House, was shown Spaldings letter
and said he would not sign for less than
$1,000. An hour and half Of discussion
failed to shake his determination and his
terms were accented

Six Round Glove Content.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Feb. 16.-A fair audi
ence assembled at the opera-hou last night
to witness the six round glove contest for
scientific points between George LeBlance,
1.-THE celebrated marinen Of the John L. Sulli-
van combination, and John W. Curtis, of
Eau Claire, Only two rounds were fought
and they were marked by sharp and fierce
short-arm fighting, and honors were easy at
the end according to the referees decision.
In the first round the marine at once took
the offensive, but was hit at every point by
Curtis, who did good fighting, landing sew
eral left-handers with good effect on the
marine, but was knocked down prettily by
LeBlanche and the round ended
The second round was a repetition of the
first, Curtis doing good work, but getting
knocked down three times. At the end of
the second round one of Curtis gloves was
found to be ripped at the thumb, and other
gloves not being found the referee was only
to decide draw on points. The audience
were about evenly divided in their opinion as
to the fairness of the decision.

A Distressing State of Affairs in Western
Illinois,

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-A Times special from
Sterling, Ill.,, says: Word has just been re-
ceived from up the river that Friday after
noon last two young men, Hugh Ramsay and
Mcclellan Fluck, started out in a skiff to the
residence of Mr.. Detman, which is situated in
the submerged district known as the Como
Bottom, for the purpose of rescuing family.
The heavy current upset the skiff, but they
managed TO catch hold Of clump of willowa
In this condition they remained until Satur-
day morning, when they were rescued. They
were in the water for sixteen hours, with the
thermometer 8 degrees below zero. Fluck,
it is thought, will die, but Ramsay may re-
cover
The river at this point is higher than has
been known before for twenty years Every
thing is at standstill, Mills and factories
are all closed. The ice has gorged for miles
and grave fears are entertained. At least
forty families were driven from their homes
The water came with such rush not one Of
them was able to move any household goods
From present appearances the worst has not
come. The hardwood breeding farm is en-
tirely submerged, and some of the stock Is In
O critical condition.

Suit involving Governors Rights.

BUFFALO, Feb 16.-An interesting case in
which Governor Hill, the New York state
board of health and the City of Jamestown,
are defendants, was argued before Judge
Daniels in the supreme court special term.

City of jamestown, asking the governor to
order chemical examination of the water
supplied by the Jamestown Water Works
company. The state board Of health exam
ined the water and reported to the governor
that it was dangerous to health, and recon-
mended that he order that the citizens be
prevented from using it. An injunction was
served upon Governor Hill and made return
able before this special term. The important
question in the case is whether the governor
can be enjoined and whether the proceedings
of the state board Of health can be reviewed
by the courts, The governor and the board
are represented by @. F. Tabor as deputy at

Progress of the Chinese Empire.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.--It is said at the
Chinese legation that the recent order guar
anteeing religious liberty to all classes
throughout China is but another step in the

Quon Shu, is a woman Of broad liberal views.
1t was under her reign that China renounced
moderation and isolation and joined the ma

between Chinese and French orders were
given to the army and navy to protect mis-
sionaries Quon Shu, the new emperor, is a
bright young man of seventeen, thoroughly

publcans claim that the concentration of
their vote yesterday on Senator Maxwell for
United States senator shows the solidity of
the party and disproves the rumors of de-
sire by some to vote for Camden, Democrat.
On the other hand the Democrats assert that
the independent feeling among the Repub-

driven to nominate Maxwell in the hope that
legislative courtesy would secure him full
vote which it did. They claim that Maxwell
cannot hold the votes.

to opinions which his fellow-passengers in

"I have Travelled many hundreds of miles
in this country and in Europe, and can say
positively that I have never witnessed such
gross mismanagement and disregard of the
comfort of the travelling public as 1 did last
night at Montreal. We were informed that
the Delaware & Hudson train left the Grand
Trunk station, in Montreal at 4:20 p. m, and
the Vermont Central at 4:30 p. m PaSsen-

their baggage was piled up waiting to be
checked and examined by the custom house
officials. Not.an official or attendant was to
be found to point out the trains. The trains
were not made up. The cars belonging to

Investigating the Railroad disaster.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VT, Feb. 16.--
In the investigation by the railroad commits
sion into the causes of the recent Vermont
Central disaster, Engineer Pierce testified
that on receiving the bell signal he applied
the air brakes. Then looking back he saw
the rear cars falling from the bridge. He at
once opened the throttle wide in order to
save the forward cars. After breaking away
from the rear cars he did not stop until he
had reached the end of the bridge. This ac-
counts for the distance run after the signal
was given. The engine was half way over
the bridge when he heard the bell
